Who we are looking for

You have gone through the initiation as an entrepreneur. You spent the time creating a great idea, convincing angels to invest in your idea, and built yourself a small team whom you call band of brothers/sisters who have turned the idea into reality. Now with the product in place and some decent traction, you are ready for the next life cycle of your startup. You are on to the acceleration stage.

The Next50 movement

In the first 50 years since its founding, Singapore was built on entrepreneurship, where its people ran businesses and spurred economic growth. However, in recent years, less Singaporeans start businesses in favour of better career opportunities.

Entrepreneurship is vital to igniting innovation and enacting change to spur economy activity in the next 50 years. The NEXT50 initiative aims to re-kindle the spark of entrepreneurship.

The NEXT50 is a pay-it-forward initiative launched by the private sector. Our belief is that Singapore will entrepreneurs should build entrepreneurs.

Building up the next generation

Leading this initiative, TRi5 Ventures has gathered over 60 mentors. These mentors hail from many industries and possess a variety of expertise and experience: startup founders, data scientists, engineers, digital marketers, traditional business owners and more.

But more importantly, they have a heart to pay-it-forward and give back. Not only knowledge and experience will be imparted, but the spirit of entrepreneurship lives on.

The mentors have committed the time to meet Singapore entrepreneurs for one-off sessions, absolutely free-of-charge! There may be follow-on consultations or long-term mentorships based on mutual agreement.
